Looking for 'Mr. Right' can be tough, but what if you found him... and he was a hitman? That's the premise of the quirky 2015 film, *Mr. Right*, starring Anna Kendrick and Sam Rockwell. While the movie leans heavily into absurdist comedy, it offers a surprisingly insightful (and hilarious) take on finding your perfect match.
Kendrick's Martha embodies the struggle of modern dating, bouncing from one disastrous encounter to another. Then she meets Francis (Rockwell), a charming, albeit eccentric, assassin. The film cleverly uses the extreme situation to highlight the importance of embracing imperfections and finding someone who complements your own quirks, no matter how unusual.
Beyond the action sequences and witty banter, *Mr. Right* encourages us to look beyond the superficial 'checklist' and value genuine connection. So, is Francis *actually* Mr. Right? Perhaps not in the traditional sense. But the movie reminds us that sometimes, the right person comes in the most unexpected (and violent) package.
